EDITORS COMMENTS
This handfinished chromolithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys, after an illustration by Jane Loudon, showcases a charming arrangement of Carnation or Dianthus plumarius varieties. The image features Sir Walter Scott, Duke of St. Albans, Anne Boleyn, and a common garden variety, all adorned with these elegant blooms. Sir Walter Scott, the renowned Scottish poet and author, is depicted holding a bouquet of the Duke of St. Albans carnations. Named after the poet, this variety boasts rich, velvety red petals with white edges and a sweet, spicy fragrance. Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, is depicted with a bouquet of the Anne Boleyn carnation. This variety, also known as the Pink Carnation, is characterized by its unique pink and white striped petals, symbolizing the secret love between Anne and the King. The common garden variety carnation, Dianthus plumarius, is displayed in the foreground, adding a delightful pop of color with its vibrant red hue and ruffled petals. The intricate details of the petals and the delicate veining on the leaves are beautifully rendered in this lithograph. The image is taken from Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, published in London in 1849. The handfinished chromolithograph technique used by Humphreys adds depth and texture to the illustration, making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection.
